Ontario International Airport has languished in the shadow of Los Angeles’ LAX for many years, prompting a growing call for separation from Los Angeles World Airports. At last the umbilical cord is about to be cut, and local city councils will be in control of its destiny.

But the difficulties that OIA has had to face will not all go away. They include a huge urban catchment area, where industry was hit hard by the recession and wages are low and, above all, an image that it is no more than a low cost facility without any real gravitas.

The ownership change opens the door, at least potentially, to private sector investment and management in the long run, but costs must be reined in and the bottom line improved first.

This report looks at present and future growth trends at the airport, local economic and airport statistics, how it matches up to competing airports across a range of metrics, at construction activities and in detail at the ownership issue.

Vietnam Airlines has become the latest Southeast Asian airline to commit to new ultra-long range aircraft enabling the launch of nonstop flights to the continental US. Vietnam Airlines has acquired 10 higher gross weight A350-900s, which are capable of operating nonstop Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh even in strong headwinds, from 2020.

Vietnam Airlines has been preparing for flights to the US for several years and now finally has committed to acquiring an aircraft capable of launching its preferred US route. Several US routes are possible but Ho Chi Minh-Los Angeles is by far biggest Vietnam-US city pair with over 100,000 annual one-way passengers.

Vietnam Airlines will join Philippine Airlines, Singapore Airlines and United Airlines – and likely Garuda Indonesia and Thai Airways – in operating nonstop flights from Southeast Asia to the continental US. New generation aircraft have opened up new opportunities to operate Southeast Asia-US fights economically but overcoming intense one-stop competition will be a challenge.
